LUNCH IN TELLS STORIES OF ROOSEVELT It was natural that around the navy department Roosevelt’s name should find Its way into every cas ual conversation officers paused to chat a moment in the - long cor ridors. Many of these had personal stories to recall of his fearless tareer as assistant secretary of the navy, the nost his son and name sake now holds. Traditions old in the navy were shattered in those days and new traditions dear to the henrts of sailor folk of today were built up in their place around the dominant, energetic, eager per sonality that even an assistant secretiiryshlp could not subdue. But it was striking that the talk of Roosevelt was not confined to the navy or tho army or to govern ment circle, but ran everywhere about the nation’s capital. From lip to lip. little intimate human pic tures of the man were sketched ns men who knew him met in clubs or on corners In the hurry of a busy day. A tato, that brought quick laughter here; there a terse, cut ting epigram repeated; or again the story of a fighting moment viv idly recalled by men who shared that moment with him, a veritable unwritten legend of a great Amer ican was in the making hour by 4:30 PM.
